I still say (no offence on behalf of ya'lls opinion),
Play AoE for 10,000 BC to 476 AD.
(Rome, Carthage-my fav, Hittitusa, Greece, Babylonia, Phoenicia...)
Play AoK for 476 AD to 1600 AD.
(Byzantine-my fav, Saracen, Turkish, France, Spain...)
Scnpunks makes awesome AoK things, (no doubt there) but I just think that there are vast differances between the two games, and neither is a "make-over redo" of the other, I like it that way, and won't stop playing one for the other-ever...
*The might of Carthage, victors from the Cedars of Lebanon to the Pillars of Hercules,
the great traders and the worlds greatest navy.
Prepare to be defeated!
*We are Macedonians, we don't convert that easily.
